Moseley Braun: Clinton 'betrays' blacks, Latinos

The Chicago Donkeys elected Harold Washington, a black lawyer, as Mayor of Chicago (1983-1987). He dies from a massive heart attack as I recall.

Wake me up when these people, (yes the broad brush terminology IS appropriate), consider themselves Americans and not hyphenated-Americans, whose “special needs” have to be addressed as part of a voting payback.
